nVidia Driver Problems
Posted by John-Erik | Filed under Uncategorized
I’ve crapped all of my nVidia cards because of problems on all versions of the drivers, one of which caused the Z-buffer to invert on certain scenes (which was pretty trippy). Despite ATi’s “buggy” drivers, they’ve always had fewer artifacts and image quality problems for me, and I can work out the compatability issues.
The TNT2m64 is in my girlfriend’s system, and she just uses it for basic tasks so it’s no biggie, but she’s happy with it. At home? My mother has an ATi Radeon 7500 64 MB PCI, my brother a Radeon VE, my sister onboard Intel video, my servers use the Riva 128 with built-in drivers for Windows, and here I have a FireGL and an Xpert 128 in this system, a FireGL in my server and a NeoMagic in my laptop, so I’m finally nVidia clean (my mother’s machine was the last one to go, it had a Vanta in it previously).
But, yeah, I’ve actually had to return multiple Quadros because of problems like those. Just a friggin pain.
